London bombings victims remembered
www.chinaview.cn 2005-11-02 09:36:56

    BEIJING, Nov. 2 -- Victims of the July 7 terrorist attacks were remembered Tuesday at a national memorial service in London.

    Queen Elizabeth II, Prime Minister Tony Blair and London Mayor Ken Livingstone joined the 2,300-strong congregation in St. Paul's Cathedral, the London landmark that survived World War II bombing raids.

    Members of the emergency services and transport workers who fought to save lives also gathered to remember the day when four suicide bombers targeted three underground trains and a bus during the morning rush hour.

    More than 50 people were killed, 40 people were seriously injured and up to 900 more were hurt in the carnage.
